Oscar Kleineh

My friend Merja sent me this nice painting of a Finnish yawl made by Oskar Kleineh in 1890. Oskar Conrad Kleineh (18 September 1846, Helsinki, Finland – November 16, 1919) was a Finnish painter. He attended the school of the Finnish Art Association in 1863-1864 and studied drawing, then in Düsseldorf, Karlsruhe, and in St. Petersburg, Russia as well as between the years 1866 and 1878 in Paris 1881-1885. Kleineh painted, inter alia, of the marine and coastal scenery of the coast of the Gulf of Finland, and in the high season, France, Denmark, Norway and the Mediterranean countries, as well as sailing images and city views from across Europe, such as the 1870 's, in Northern France. Kleineh was unmarried. No wonder he had so much time to paint so well ;-))
